Pressures, Decisions and Freedom (Curriculum Lesson Title: True Freedom)

Three puzzles are provided to three (3) groups of students for a race to comple tion. This activity illustrates the importance of setting goals and formulating plans to accomplish those goals. Students will develop and share their own definition of freedom. They will then recognize the need to expand that definition from merely the absence of rules or controlling forces that are outside of themselves, to include the internal limits we put on ourselves, that hold us back from experiencing more of life. In order to identify and overcome internal obstacles, students will recognize the necessity components they need to begin developing their own Internal Free doms: Increased Understanding, Building Skills, Reinforcing Character, Emo tional Control, Establishing a Vision and the Strength of Virtue. Then seven (7) scenarios are provided and students determine which elements are needed to overcome the hindrances to personal success. Students are given the opportunity to clarify for themselves, the definitions of 12 positive character traits. The lesson concludes with students receiving a work sheet for personal self - reflection that is not to be shared, containing 13 attributes of good character. They will individually rate themselves as either Being Strong, In the Process of Growing or Needing Work on each attribute. Having a vision for the future, leads them to where they want to go and helps them establish a plan for what they want to accomplish with their lives. Strengthening their character will give them the freedom to make this a reality.
